Found August 14, 2012 on NESN.com:
PLAYERS: Brian Scalabrine
TEAMS: Chicago Bulls
Brian Scalabrine has one of the intangibles of sports -- the ability to just hang on -- in boatloads. The improbable NBA player has stuck around for 11 seasons, five of them with the Celtics (including the 2008 championship run). Last year, he suited up with the Chicago Bulls, but the team isn't saving a spot for him for 2012.
